Union Cabinet today passed a resolution expressing profound sorrow at the sad demise of former Union Minister Sushma Swaraj who passed away last week at AIIMS in New Delhi.

In the resolution, the Cabinet said that in her passing away, the country has lost a distinguished leader and an outstanding Parliamentarian. It said, Sushma Swaraj will always be remembered for her exceptional oratorial skils and a compassionate approach.

She was an able administrator and an affable person with a humane touch who won the hearts of all by helping Indians in distress abroad. For these qualities, she was declared as India's best loved politician by the US daily Wall Street Journal in 2017.

The Cabinet placed on record its appreciation of Sushma Swaraj's services to the nation in different capacities. It also extended its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family on behalf of the Government and the entire nation.
